Chapter 437 The Tail-Breaking Razer
Chapter 437 The Tail-Breaking Razer
"Where are we going?" Shen Xu asked after leaving Chunlu Pavilion.
"Tail-Broken Razor!"
"Your body is still too weak, and you certainly won't survive the 'thunderous raging waves' of the second day of the Milky Way tidal bore."
So I'm going to take you to the Broken Tail Thunder Swamp to get used to the lightning of the Heavenly River. The lightning there is relatively mild, and it's also where lower-level disciples of the Sword Sect use lightning to temper their bodies.
"Alright, I've been wanting to see the real Milky Way."
I remember during the Sword Selection, you invited the Sword Selection seeds from Flying Cloud Boat to visit the Heavenly River. Wasn't that when Lu Qingshan met Qin Qing?
"It's a pity that if you had chosen the Sword Seed back then, you would have naturally joined the Heavenly River Society instead of the Green Wood Society. You would have met me and Miss earlier, and you wouldn't have met Miss Xiao Yi."
"Maybe!"
Shen Xu felt that given his ill-fated relationship with the witch and Li Xiaoyi, he would have encountered them sooner or later even if he hadn't joined Wentian.
"Actually, that's not the case. Whenever Qingyun comes to me, no matter where I am at the time, I will go to help her," Shen Xu said thoughtfully.
"Shen Xu, what exactly is your relationship with Qing Yun? Why are you helping her so selflessly? Even Miss Xiao Yi helps her."
What exactly did she promise you? Or is Qingyun really as charming as the rumors say? But why don't I feel it?
Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Guan Bi couldn't help but ask.
"Guanbi, you have too many questions. I can answer some of them, but not others."
My relationship with Qingyun isn't as complicated as you think. I've always treated Qingyun like a younger sister.
Qingyun didn't promise me anything; I helped her because she could accomplish something I couldn't.
That matter is very important to me!
Is the Hundred Flowers Festival also part of this?
Shen Xu was taken aback. He remembered that Bai Lu had asked him to take Guan Bi to the Hundred Flowers Festival. Could it be that Guan Bi had some connection with the Hundred Flowers Festival?
"There is indeed some connection. Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"It's nothing!" Guanbi avoided his gaze.
"Guanbi, would you like to come with me to the Hundred Flowers Festival?" Shen Xu asked tentatively, seeing Guanbi's behavior.
"I still need to stay with Miss."
Shen Xu narrowed his eyes. Based on his understanding of Guan Bi, if she didn't explicitly refuse, it was tantamount to agreeing.
In other words, Guan Bi wanted to go to the Hundred Flowers Festival, but hesitated because of certain things.
Following conventional thinking, he should now be firm in his idea of taking Guanbi to the Hundred Flowers Festival, and then try to get Bailu to go as well. In that case, Guanbi would most likely go with him.
But Bai Lu has already said she's not going, which makes things a bit difficult.
We can only wait and see if Bai Lu can find an excuse to get Guan Bi away, then he can try to invite Guan Bi back.
At that moment, a yellow streak of light descended from afar and landed in front of them, and a middle-aged beautiful woman appeared before them. "Guanbi, when did you come back?"
Has Bailu returned yet?
“Aunt Duan, Miss and I just got back last night. Miss should be with the sect leader now,” Guan Bi replied with a smile.
"It's good that you're back. I knew you would definitely come back with the Milky Way tide."
"Remember to have Bailu come to me; I left her a lot of good things." The woman smiled.
"What is this?" The woman frowned as she looked at Shen Xu.
"This junior is Shen Xu, a disciple of the Sword Alliance. I have come with Guan Bi to watch the great tide," Shen Xu said, bowing.
He realized that claiming to be related to Bai Lu within the Tianhe Sword Sect would only invite trouble.
"Since you were able to come with Guan Bi to participate in the Heavenly River Tide, you must be an extremely outstanding disciple in the Sword Alliance."
However, the Tianhe Sword Sect also has some extremely outstanding disciples, as well as those who were eliminated during the selection process.
"They're all determined to prove they're no worse than you, so you'd better be careful," the middle-aged woman warned.
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me!"
After the beautiful woman left, Guan Bi couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you say that Miss brought you here?"
"It's always better to be careful. I believe there are many people in the Tianhe Sword Sect who admire you and Bailu. I'm not here to compete with others for your affections."
"Some things you can't avoid just because you want to," Guan Bi said softly.
……
Duanwei Leize is an open river beach area in the lower reaches of the Tianhe River.
Here, the river suddenly splits apart like a dragon's severed tail, branching into dozens of winding tributaries. The water is crystal clear, and the riverbed is covered with dark red lightning sand. The surface of the sand grains is densely covered with charred lightning patterns, which shimmer with faint electric sparks in the sunlight.
Lightning-type spiritual plants such as Thundergrass and Purple Lightning Flower grow on both sides of the riverbank, and a faint thunder mist permeates the air, with fine electric sparks flashing within the mist.
If an ordinary person were to walk through it, their hair would stand on end, and they might even lose their life.
Standing in the Thunder Pavilion, Shen Xu looked at the red sand beach about a hundred feet wide in front of him, and the many Tianhe disciples walking barefoot on it, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this the Broken Tail Thunder Swamp?"
"This is Red Thunder Beach, the outermost area of the Broken Tail Thunder Swamp. Your goal today is to use this beach to reach the deeper Thunder Vine Forest."
"barefoot?"
"Being barefoot allows one to better sense the power of lightning in the Milky Way, but most importantly, the sect rules require it to be done this way."
"All right!"
Taking off his shoes and socks, Shen Xu tentatively dipped his toes into the river water. A slight tingling sensation spread from the soles of his feet to his hair, but it wasn't intense and was within his tolerance. So he put his other foot in as well.
The red sand rolled and rubbed against his feet, generating intermittent electric currents that gave him a slightly tingling sensation that felt very comfortable.
Then he noticed that Guan Bi was walking on the water's surface by circulating her inner energy, without her skirt getting wet at all, so he looked at Guan Bi's face in confusion.
Guan Bi said calmly, "I have special privileges."
"You are now at the Qi Sea Realm, and your legs have been strengthened by lightning, so you should be able to cross this beach."
"It's whatever you say!"
Shen Xu smiled helplessly, then took a step forward and waded through the water.
The further he went, the more active the lightning became in the river, with currents constantly flowing from the water into his skin. However, the lightning in the Milky Way still posed no threat to him at the moment.
As he continued forward, fewer and fewer people remained around him, and charred, scaled stones began to appear scattered on the riverbank, with bluish-purple moss growing between them.
"What is this?" Shen Xu asked Guan Bi, who had been following him.
"The Thunder Moss, when stepped on, feels like stepping on hot coals, and can stimulate acupoints on the soles of the feet to accelerate the circulation of qi and blood."
"Let me try!"
"Don't……"
Before Guan Bi could finish speaking, Shen Xu excitedly stepped on it.
Instantly, a violent electric current shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and Shen Xu's body immediately stiffened, his hair stood on end, and then he fell straight backward. Guan Bi, who had anticipated this, appeared beside him and gently supported him.
“Even I don’t dare to step on it. I shrink back when I should be firm, but act like a child when I shouldn’t be reckless.” Guan Bi sighed softly.
